so at about 11 this morning, i was baptised. now a couple of weeks ago i posted about where i should get baptised: at watermark community church or at Sky ranch. This question about where i should get baptised was the final lesson that the Lord had to teach me about what He's BEEN telling me throughout the whole year: Fellowship.
1 John 1: 3-7 "We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with His son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete. This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us all from sin."
Today, i realized that i had been baptised in more than a name and in more than a faith, i was baptised in a fellowship of Christians who strive for the Lord. One of the biggest struggles for me with my faith is feeling alone. At times i could feel like God isn't there and that He's distant or that i am the only one living today in a Godly way. But i've been shown that God is never distant, WE are.
Today, I'm walking with the guarentee that I am not alone and that I'm never alone, because i have my small group, i have watermark and I have Christ alive in my heart
I forgot to include the reason i decided to get baptised at Watermark over Sky Ranch. I decided that even though Sky Ranch is the place where my faith came from, Watermark is the place where my faith is going to grow
